Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Newport County, Cambridge United will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Oldham Athletic on Matchday 7. The U’s have been impressive at home this season and, as a result, the bookies see them as favourites to win Saturday’s encounter. Both Michael Morrison and Shayne Lavery are out of contention with injuries for the home team.
The Owls, on the other hand, have failed to win the previous eight games in all competitions. As Cambridge have turned their Abbey Stadium into a real fortress, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. Experienced midfielder Kieron Morris remains in the recovery room, but the 31-year-old should be the only absentee in the visiting team. In their last meeting in the English fourth tier, Cambridge United defeated Oldham 4-2.
Highlighted Team (Cambridge United):
Cambridge United are an English football club that compete in League Two. The U’s play their home games at Abbey Stadium, the venue which was built back in 1923. Owned by Grosvenor Estates, Cambridge United’s home ground can hold up to 8,127 spectators.
The U’s wear amber and black jerseys and black shorts when playing in front of home fans, while white and blue are the dominant colours of their away kit. Cambridge United won the FA Trophy in 2014, with the team making it to the FA Cup quarter-finals two times (1989/90, 1990/91). In the 1968-69 season, the U’s clinched the Southern League Cup title.
Cambridge United recorded their biggest league win in March 2007 as they outclassed Weymouth 7-0, and they repeated the success against Forest Green (2009) and Morecambe (2016). Peterborough United are regarded as the club’s main rivals, but they maintain rivalries with Northampton Town, Colchester United, Luton Town, Stevenage, and Histon as well.
